Our founder's mission was to create an army of multimedia journalists who will document the fight to end cannabis prohibition in our world. Through the production of PCM's Weed Talk News show that vision is accomplished weekly. Telling the news stories of the cannabis industry in their own words is the goal of their coverage of cannabis news from coast to coast. Telling the stories of the people in the cannabis industry who are passionate about this plant medicine sharing their passion for the cause of how cannabis can change your life, or even in many cases, save your life!

At WPCM-TV , our co-founders' vision to document the fight to end cannabis prohibition is fulfilled every week when Weed Talk News is released on Friday afternoons with coverage from coast to coast featuring over a dozen journalists from 12 of the 23 legal adult-use states.
We believe that everyone should have access to engaging, factual, and informative content, and we strive to make that a reality every week.
